I'm hoping to wrap up tonight, but we'll see what happens.02:17:53: <EdraCrow> When we ended two weeks ago, Brie and Edra had learned more about the microbe causing the infant mortality, and that the Away Team could now be carriers.02:19:07: <EdraCrow> They have been ordered to remain on the planet until a cure can be found. Constance, who returned before the ailment's characteristics were known, is now quarrantined inside Sickbay. The medical department on the ship is doing their part to find a cure for the microbe02:20:18: <EdraCrow> The away team also began feeling what the inhabitants described as normal tectonic activity, but in the two hours since, the earthquakes have increased in intensity.02:20:38: <LtJG-HaydonMalaan> << so shore leave for me?? >>02:20:54: <EdraCrow> The regular fluctuation of the volume of the planet that was observed from the ship has also continued.02:20:55: <LtConstance> Are their any symptoms of the microbe?02:21:12: <BrielleJayde> That was my question too, Constance.02:21:27: <EdraCrow> no shore leave, you're still with Topor, maybe heading back toward us...02:21:38: <EdraCrow> no symptoms in adults02:21:44: <LtBrieJayde> ::Nods::02:22:09: <EdraCrow> in very young children there are flu-like symptoms that usually lead to death.02:22:31: <LtBrieJayde> So Banks is on extended babysitting duty 02:22:38: <EdraCrow> any other questions?02:22:40: <LtConstance> Ok02:23:40: <CdrEdraCrow> BEGIN02:23:48: <LtJG-HaydonMalaan> :: is headed back toward the medical center with Topor ::02:24:53: <Topor> ::Seems a little more rattled than he has before:: Perhaps you and your friends should go back to your ship now.02:24:55: <LtConstance> :: just being beamed into sickbay from the brig :: why they heck am I in here I'm not sick02:25:46: <LtConstance> : she was already in a foul mood about her men now this:02:26:16: <LtBrieJayde> ::Pinches the bridge of her nose with her eyes closed:: There has to be something in here.02:27:25: <CdrEdraCrow> ::still in the hospital with Brie and Halcorn, trying to figure out a way to stop the microbe. To Brie:: I feel like I'm missing something. It shouldn't be this hard...02:28:05: <LtConstance> :: looking around the Sickbay ::02:28:06: <LtBrieJayde> ::Opens her eyes and glances over at Edra:: It has to be something simple, and we’re likely overthinking it.02:28:58: <LtJG-HaydonMalaan> : looks over at Topor: something amiss Topor??02:29:42: <ChanceCrow> ::walks from the triage area to the quarantine room, but on the other side of the biofield:: Hi Lt. Stewart. I'm sorry we have to do this, but these are the orders that have come down. You were on the planet, right?02:30:25: <Topor> Everything was fine until you outsiders arrived.02:30:38: <LtConstance> Looking at Chance " yes I was dr"02:31:50: <CdrEdraCrow> ::nods:: I agree. Perhaps we should start the simulation again. look at how the compound develops in the youngsters...02:31:53: <LtJG-HaydonMalaan> What do you mean? Is our presence having some effect on your planet?02:32:11: <LtBrieJayde> ::Picks up the PADD she’d been taking notes on and looks it over, most of it a blur at this point:: I don’t know if I can get any more out of this information. Not with my medical knowledge anyways. ::Looks back over and nods:: Only thing I can think of.02:33:27: <ChanceCrow> They've sent word that a microbe that you've breathed in and are carrying can infect very young children. Since there is no known cure yet, we're keeping you here. But we're working on finding something to neutralize the molecule.02:34:07: <CdrEdraCrow> ;:looks at Brie::02:34:26: <Topor> Maybe you people are just bad luck.02:34:38: <LtConstance> So I'm in quarantine again doc02:35:39: <LtJG-HaydonMalaan> I don't know about us people - but I tend to be luckier than most people and I attribute that to me being Q02:36:16: <CdrEdraCrow> Sci-Bridge> Sir, we're picking up some strange topographic features on the planet, just out of sight from our position.02:36:46: <LtBrieJayde> ::Goes over to run the simulation again, running it a bit slower than they had before to see if they’d missed anything::02:36:55: <ChanceCrow> ::he gave her a sad smile: I'm sorry. We can't take the risk right now.02:37:18: <LtJG-HaydonMalaan> but trust me I want to get back to my ship as soon as possible - these diplomatic/investigative missions aren't my favorite either - sorry to inconvenience you02:37:28: <Capt_Crow> Explain strange.02:37:57: <LtConstance> :: looking at Dr Crow :: " it's ok I swear from here on out I'm wearing a bio suit on every mission"02:38:32: <LtConstance> " I was just chewing a couple of my men out anyway02:39:17: <CdrEdraCrow> Sci-Bridge> ::checking readings on the console, and double checking before reporting back:: There is a set of vents on the surface and some kind of gaseous mixture is being exhausted from them, and then alternately taken in again.02:39:56: <Topor> ::Turns, almost bumping into a few scurrying scientist looking types:: A few tremors and they run scared.02:40:10: <ChanceCrow> ::he grinned:: If you had been on the surface still, you would have been quarantined there...I do suppose that's more room to get around though.02:41:09: <Capt_Crow> Planets don't recover emissions like that.02:41:28: <LtJG-HaydonMalaan> Seems these tremors are growing in frequency and intensity - what could be causing it?02:41:30: <LtBrieJayde> ::Finds a seat and watches the simulation, compairing it to her notes:: Nothing..02:41:32: <LtConstance> " well you have a point but those people down their were nice but a bit strange"02:41:52: <CdrEdraCrow> 4ACTION: ANOTHER EARTHQUAKE HITS. THIS ONE STRONG ENOUGH TO KNOCK OBJECTS OFF OF SHELVES, AND TO PUT A CRACK OR TWO IN SOME WALLS, BUT NO MAJOR DAMAGE.02:42:13: <Topor> Just a reaction to the core blasting we've....:::staggers with the quake:: been conducting.02:42:17: <LtBrieJayde> ::Watches things tumble off the shelves and frowns::02:42:20: <CdrEdraCrow> Sci-Bridge> ::turns to him:: hence, the "strange"02:43:17: <Capt_Crow> What kind of gasses are being expelled?02:43:52: <LtConstance> :: I walked over to the bed and sat down::02:44:13: <LtJG-HaydonMalaan> I am not an expert on this place but maybe you should stop drilling at least for a little bit02:44:21: <LtBrieJayde> ::As the simulation finishes, tosses the PADD on the table next to her in frustration::02:45:08: <LtJG-HaydonMalaan> Seems that blasting might be causing a stronger reaction than you anticipated02:45:10: <CdrEdraCrow> Sci-Bridge> ::looking over more readings:: Sulfur, nitrogen, Phosphorous...about the same make-up of the atmosphere outside of the bubbles there02:45:32: <Topor> We cannot, it is how we mine those crystals for energy. Last year we found an enormous amount of them buried deep in the planet, deeper than our drilled could get to.02:45:53: <Topor> So we have been using small nuclear blasts to burrow into the planet to access them.02:45:59: <LtConstance> " well I will cooperate any way I can dr"02:46:34: <Capt_Crow> And where are they being expelled from?02:46:40: <CdrEdraCrow> Sci-bridge> ::looks back and forth across her console:: haha! And we're getting even stranger...the intake and output from the vents is perfectly timed with the volumetric fluctioations of the planet!02:47:58: <LtBrieJayde> ::To Edra:: I’m at a loss…but I won’t take this back up to Ossan.02:48:05: <CdrEdraCrow> Sci-bridge: ::sobers up:: Um, from just over the western horizon.02:48:10: <LtJG-HaydonMalaan> Yes but you might be affecting to structural integrity of you world - those blasts near the core are cause significant damage and your planet looks to be fighting back02:48:21: <CdrEdraCrow> ::nods:: I know what you mean.02:48:41: <Capt_Crow> Send a probe and collect more data.02:49:36: <LtJG-HaydonMalaan> if you continue the blasting you could cause the destruction of your home - power be damned if there is no world what good is the power02:49:46: <ChanceCrow> ::nods to Constance:: right now we just need you to hang tight. some of the others have the information needed from the planet. We're just trying to find the cure.02:50:00: <LtBrieJayde> I hate having absolutely no ideas. We’ve gone over that simulation so many times I could likely see it in my sleep.02:50:47: <CdrEdraCrow> Sci-bridge> ::nods:: Probe sent, Sir.02:50:58: <Topor> If we stop, we'll run out of energy.02:51:10: <LtJG-HaydonMalaan> how soon?02:51:31: <CdrEdraCrow> +Malaan+ Haydon, do you know how far away you are?02:51:38: <Topor> ::he looked around:: Six months at most. Most of the populace has no idea.02:52:35: <LtJG-HaydonMalaan> because if you don't stop I fear you will destroy : punch data in tricorder : hmm and judging by this data its gonna happen soon02:52:58: <LtJG-HaydonMalaan> :: arrives back at medical facility with Topor in tow::02:53:20: <Topor> You cannot alert the colonists or they will react badly.02:53:27: <CdrEdraCrow> Sci-Bridge> They just had another earthquake down there. about a 402:54:32: <LtBrieJayde> ::Lets out a heavy sigh:: What are we missing?02:54:57: <CdrEdraCrow> ::turns to see Haydon coming in:: Oh good, you're here.02:55:17: <LtBrieJayde> ::Glances at Haydon but doesn’t say anything::02:55:41: <LtBrieJayde> ((WB again))02:55:45: <CdrEdraCrow> ::looks at Halcorn:: Perhaps if we could have some time to ourselves?02:55:51: <LtJG-HaydonMalaan> Hello ladies02:55:51: <LtConstance> ( thanks)02:56:05: <Capt_Crow> +Edra+ Are you guys alright?02:56:26: <LtBrieJayde> Maybe you can offer a fresh pair of eyes to this thing, Haydon.02:56:33: <CdrEdraCrow> +Henry+ We're fine...it's getting worse though.02:56:49: <CdrEdraCrow> Halcorn> Of course. You may have this room as long as you need.02:57:27: <Topor> ::leaves with Halcom:::02:57:55: <Capt_Crow> +Maybe we ought to just bring you back with quarantine?02:58:21: <LtBrieJayde> ::Hears the captain and looks at Edra:: I don’t trust that..02:58:25: <CdrEdraCrow> +Henry+ I don't feel comfortable doing that when there's no cure in sight.02:58:39: <CdrEdraCrow> ::nods at Brie::02:58:51: <LtConstance> I just sit down on the bed " are their any symptoms of this doc02:59:09: <Capt_Crow> +I don't have to say how much I dislike you being down there with an unstable planet below you.02:59:41: <ChanceCrow> :: shakes his head:: You shouldn't feel any different. What we've been told is that adults are merely carriers. So they can pass it on without feeling any different.03:00:03: <LtBrieJayde> ::Reloads the simulation again for Haydon to watch. Maybe he could see something they couldn’t over the past few hours::03:00:45: <LtConstance> Ok then I guess I just sit here and hope everyone is ok on the surface03:00:48: <CdrEdraCrow> +Henry+ I know, but I do not what to bring whatever this is on board. It's bad enough that we didn't catch this before Stewart went back.03:01:32: <LtJG-HaydonMalaan> :: watches the simulation - looking for anything that just doesn't seem normal ::03:01:39: <Capt_Crow> +Understood.03:01:45: <ChanceCrow> ::leans against a wall trying to make small talk:: So, what did you have to ream your guys for? if you can share...03:02:11: <CdrEdraCrow> +Henry+ has anyone found any useful information up there?03:02:46: <Capt_Crow> +We're monitoring an unusual seismic fluctuation concerning the planet depressurizing.03:03:10: <LtBrieJayde> ::Raises an eyebrow at what Henry just said:: Depressurizing?03:03:37: <LtConstance> They were fighting over a woman she told them the winner got her they almost caused a riot03:03:38: <CdrEdraCrow> +Henry+ Depressurizing? Is it collapsing?03:04:00: <CdrEdraCrow> ::shrugs to Brie as she asks the same thing::03:04:16: <LtJG-HaydonMalaan> Topor says they are using small nuclear blasts to get at the energy crystals near the center of the planet and those seem to causing the quakes kinda like an upset stomach03:04:17: <Capt_Crow> +No, it's expelling gases and then....sucking them back in. Which even though I skipped my fair share of science courses at the academy, I know is not normal.03:04:25: <MercLogger> ((Unidle))03:05:24: <LtConstance> One of them isone of my best men he knows better this is his first time so he's getting off easy. The other one however I'm not sure what to do with him03:05:32: <ChanceCrow> ::raises a brow:: hm...wonder if I know him...03:05:33: <LtBrieJayde> ::Glances to Haydon:: Small nuclear blasts? Might explain a lot. ::Thinks on that for a moment and grabs her PADD again::03:06:18: <ChanceCrow> ::shakes her head:: +Henry+ No, it's not...there's a lot on this planet that's very strange...03:06:46: <LtConstance> Kent Wilkson was one Joey Jacobs the other03:06:50: <CdrEdraCrow> <<oops>>03:07:00: <LtJG-HaydonMalaan> cant imagine nuclear blasts being a good thing - but when I told Topor they should stop he seemed concerned about running out of power03:07:39: <CdrEdraCrow> ::looks back at Haydon:: Wait, say that again? nuclear blasts?03:07:45: <LtBrieJayde> And that’s the only way for them to get it? ::Taps fingers on the table for a second:: Nuclear blasts, the planet doing what it is doing, this thing with the infants dying…03:08:12: <LtJG-HaydonMalaan> Topor says they are using small nuclear blasts to get at the energy crystals near the center of the planet and those seem to causing the quakes kinda like an upset stomach03:09:29: <CdrEdraCrow> the blasts themselves shouldn't cause earthquakes like that unless the structural integrity of the planet is unstable.03:10:15: <Capt_Crow> ::turns to science:: I want one of the smaller cargo bays set up under quarantine procedures incase we need to evacuate them. What's that probe showing?03:10:20: <CdrEdraCrow> <<find pause points>>03:10:26: <LtBrieJayde> ::Paused::03:11:21: <CdrEdraCrow> Sci-Bridge> It's not showing anything new, but we can get a visual of the vents in a moment...03:11:26: <CdrEdraCrow> :: paused::03:11:32: <LtConstance> :paused:03:11:34: <ChanceCrow> :: paused::03:11:54: <LtJG-HaydonMalaan> :: paused ::03:13:00: <CdrEdraCrow> Ok...so we're not quite there yet...but that's okay. We'll continue next week.03:13:09: <LtJG-HaydonMalaan> awesome03:13:11: <CdrEdraCrow> Anything from the Captain?03:13:19: <Capt_Crow> cant wait03:13:25: <LtBrieJayde> Ha!03:13:46: <CdrEdraCrow> well, in that case...03:13:47: <LtConstance> Col03:13:50: <LtConstance> Cool03:13:54: <LtBrieJayde> This lady is going to crash out, night guys!03:13:54: <CdrEdraCrow> DISMISSED
